Instead of commenting this and that, I would rather share such a stupid question of mine – “Why is it entitled ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’, while the journey obviously belongs to the dwarves?” JJ
Sorry,
I’m not complaining or making fun of it and – yes, I know that the fourteenth
fellow hired by Gandalf is Bilbo Baggins – a hobbit, the one who wrote down his
unforgetable journey on the journal – but still why?.
I
slightly thought that the hobbits and their peaceful life in Shire would be the
story all about (again – I haven’t read the book yet! J) – which of
course, that’s way too impossible as my sister once told me about a very dull-flat
life of the hobbits – how they live their life in a simplest way and always
take easy on everything.
In
the end, that doesn’t matter J
As
I always enjoy following the series (also talking about previous trilogy of TLOTR
I’ve only just started and finished watching this summer! – here). Especially,
when it comes to the part of Baggins and Gandalf. What will Baggins (Bilbo
and/or Frodo) react?. What will Gandalf do this time?. What will be surprise about
their brotherhood?. And so forth..
God,
should I wait that long until the next and next-2-years to watch the sequels?.
It’s
alright then – who knows I will watch both at another movie theater in another continent
*LOL-LOL* JJ
Random
things (directly or indirectly related to the movie) I want to write here:
J It’s been 4 times I was in chaos going to the cinema. I believe, today
was the worst as I felt so stressed along the way and never stopped cursing on
the ‘angkot’ driver (for being too sluggish!) and hell yes – the traffic jam perfectly
made my day! (it’s time for Friday-prayer and – rather than going to the
mosque, you Guys competed to flood the road instead?? KK).
Noticing the clock hanging on the wall each time we passed the open-shop made
me even become uneasy as they showed different times. I – then made myself busy
by thinking all possible ways to soonly catch the cinema. So I decided to get
down from the ‘angkot’ earlier as I saw it ran even slower whenever entering a
dense populated area, and spent the rest meters by half fast-walking and half
running. Alhamdulillah – thank God, I could still make it on time. 10 minutes
to 2 pm – I hurriedly bought the ticket, directly went to the entrance, and successfully
joined the first wave of the show (in my city!). Hohoo, how proud! JJ
J Disaster!!! I abruptly needed to pee in the middle of the show but then
decided to endure the urge as long as I could!. Nooooo, I didn’t want to miss
every single scene!.
J Again – I was the only person the row I sat had!.
J Almost forgot that today is December 14 – which means the premiere!. Too
much anticipating (often) makes me forget the moment, precisely when it comes
LL
J Never thought that Frodo only appeared in a very few scenes LL.
The movie definitely belongs to his uncle this time. And *ehem, I kind of miss
Sam, Aragorn, and Legolas JJ
J Being
quite surprised after reading the profile of ‘real’ Gandalf and Old Bilbo
Baggins on Wikipedia. 73 and 81 years old! – almost as old as the characters.
J Where the heck were the eagles coming from at the nearly end of the
movie?. The flock trully reminded me of “How TLOTR Movie Should Have Ended”-gag I
watched on YouTube JJ
*LOL*. Now, I really think they should have come at the beginning to mess up
the show! JJ
J The funniest scene is when the trolls met the fellowship “Don’t eat me,
I have the biggest bacteria!!” JJ
*LOL*. The so-sweet scene is when the dwarves were prejudiced toward Bilbo, but
rather than being angry – he defended by illustrating the meaning of
‘home-sweet-home’ to him. You’re the kindest burglar – the Middle-Earth has
ever had, Bilbo Y
J Beside snail, Orc is the most disgusting creature I have ever seen. In
my mind, that is (probably) how the ‘real’ devil looks like.
J I yearn to possess all best qualities of a hobbit. I meet those people –
who are blessed to have such a noble personality – which makes them surrounded
by the others who feel secure. Well *ehem, I can be that way – I mean I try as
everyone else does too, but to keep consistent – indeed is the hardest part.
